Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 341 Watching a Show

Lin Qingping clicked her tongue inwardly several times; this green tea was truly green.

Meanwhile, Du Gen was clearly moved by Lifen's words. Compared to them, Gu Youlian and Lin Qingping seemed so domineering and unreasonable, while Lifen seemed so gentle and considerate.

Du Gen's mother started screaming in alarm, "Oh, Lifen, you're carrying our Du family's little ancestor! You better watch yourself, why are you kneeling like that!"

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Gu Youlian's eyes reddened again. Back when she was pregnant with Xiaomai, she worked in the fields every day, and no one said a word to be careful…

Feeling wronged, she couldn't help but glance at Dugen. As a result, she saw Dugen helping Lifen up, and Lifen was still looking weak and frail, leaning against Dugen.

Gu Youlian's face immediately turned pale. Du Gen realized this and quickly helped Lifen to her feet, hastily letting go of her hand and explaining to Gu Youlian, "Lianzi, I just... Lifen is pregnant..."

Haha, Lifen is pregnant...

These words deeply wounded Gu Youlian's heart. Gu Youlian felt as if needles were pricking her heart. The word "child" had become like a curse, making her head ache terribly.

As Lifen stood up, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a gold chain fell off her body. It was so shiny and dazzling that it was hard for anyone not to see it.

Lifen looked flustered. She picked up the chain from the ground and tried to hide it on her body. She said to Gu Youlian in a hurry, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I...I..."

Lifen squeezed her eyes shut, managing to squeeze out a few tears as if she were about to cry. She desperately tried to explain, "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand. I... I didn't want anything at first... but my cousin... he was considerate of my pregnancy and bought this to comfort me... I really don't want anything in return... or... or I'll give this to you?"

Lifen handed over the gold chain.

Gu Youlian, of course, wouldn't answer. Gu Youlian only felt pain—pain in her eyes, pain in her heart, pain everywhere, so painful that her whole body was trembling...

How wonderful! Lifen doesn't want anything, but that scumbag Dugan is eager to give it to her.

But what about her? When she was pregnant, she had to go back to her parents' house to mooch a bowl of chicken soup. In all these years of marriage, whether it was during hard times or after they started making money, Dugen never gave her anything expensive. The best gift she ever received was a red hair clip; other than that, a wildflower from the mountains or a piece of cake were enough to make her happy…

She looked at Dugen, her eyes stinging with tears.

“Lotus seed…” Du Gen looked at her anxiously and explained hastily, “We used to be poor, and now, even if I want to buy something, you won’t let me…”

"So, I told you not to buy it, so you bought it for someone else?" Gu Youlian's heart ached with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Why didn't I let you buy it? Wasn't it to save more money for this family? Wasn't it for the wheat? So, it's wrong of me to tell you not to buy it? And you can buy it for other women?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, please take it. I beg you, I'll do anything as long as you don't fight with my cousin..." Lifen put down the necklace. "You don't want me to have this child... then... then I'll get an abortion... I'll go right now..."

After saying that, she turned and ran out crying.

"Stop!"

"stop!"

Du Gen's father and mother spoke in unison.

If he were to abort the child, it would be the death of Du Gen's father. Holding his pipe, he pointed at Lifen, coughing incessantly, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

Dugen, the most important person, actually caught up with her in just a few steps, grabbed Lifen's arm, and said urgently, "Lifen, don't be impulsive!"

Lifen turned and threw herself into Dugen's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Cousin...cousin...I didn't want this either...I really, really wanted to have a child for you, to give you an heir...I don't want anything, just that you remember to visit us occasionally...but my wife won't agree...I don't want you two to fight...what should I do...cousin...I don't know what to do..."

Dugan's body was stiff for a moment when Lifen first hugged him, but after Lifen said those words, Dugan completely relaxed, even raising his hands that were hanging at his sides to hug her.

“It’s my fault, it’s not your responsibility. Give me some time, I’ll handle it.” Dugan said this while holding Lifen’s waist.

Gu Youlian felt as if thorns were piercing her eyes, and tears streamed down her face. Through her tears, she saw Lifen leaning on Dugen's shoulder, giving Gu Youlian a casual smile.

Lin Qingping kept writing in a notebook the whole time, watching them act out various dramas, with one clown after another taking the stage. Finally, she had enough and only regretted that there were no smartphones in this era to record videos. It would have been so much better to have filmed everything that had just happened, as it would have been irrefutable evidence!

She seems to have a lot of experience dealing with things like someone getting pregnant.

Why does she always have to encounter things like this?

She finally put down her pen and asked the Du family, "Okay, now I understand. The child that Lifen is carrying is Du Gen's child, your Du family's little ancestor, isn't that right?"

"Yes!" Du Genniang answered loudly, as if afraid that if she hesitated even for a second, her grandson would be gone.

“Dugan, don’t you think so?” she asked again.

After working outside for so many years, Dugan hesitated, worried that there might be a trap inside.

Lin Qingping grew impatient. "Just tell me if it's true or not! If it is, we'll discuss what to do next; if not, kick this woman out! I hate her!"

Lifen pouted, then leaned against Dugen's shoulder again, softly saying, "Cousin..."

“Of course,” Dugan said.

“Okay!” Lin Qingping wrote “I confirm” on the paper. “I just wrote down everything you said. In other words, Du Gen not only committed indecent acts, but also got Lifen pregnant. We are all law-abiding honest people. Du Gen has broken the law. Since he has broken the law, we cannot fail to report it. That would be considered a crime of harboring a criminal.”

The Du family members were finally taken aback. Du Gen's mother was about to rush over and fight with her again, but Du Gen's father held her back.

Lin Qingping said clearly, "Du Gen, your parents may not know how hooliganism should be punished, but you should know, otherwise you would have worked as the deputy factory director for nothing all these years."

Dugan's face turned pale; he knew, of course, what hooliganism meant.

"So, Gu-jie and I aren't going to waste any more time with you. Just wait for them to come and arrest us." Lin Qingping packed her things to leave. "Oh, you've confirmed that the conversation we just recorded is true, so how about you sign something or put your fingerprint on it?"

How could Dugan possibly leave his fingerprints?
